Title: Vendo 39 Value Post by: Zach on December 23, 2010, 09:09:15 pm Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Vendo 39 that is missing the drum, fingers, and bottle catch. But has the cooling unit and coin mechanism but I don't know if they work. The cabinet appears to be in good shape with minimal rust. I got him down to $400 but will cost $50 in gas and an 8 hour drive. Think this is a good price? Lol is it worth taking up even more space in my basement until I get to it? Which would be about a year...

I have passed on 2 of them that were in ok shape for that amount. The prices are about 25% what they were 3 years ago. Wait for a complete one.
Just my 2cents Brian Title: Re: Vendo 39 Value Post by: collecture on January 06, 2011, 12:58:46 pm The price I have seen lately for Vendo 39s complete (not necessarily getting cold) is about $500.

OR 25% less than what they were?? I think the latter....I've never seen an un-restored 39 sell for $2000.

To far & missing part. Do not waste your time. Title: Re: Vendo 39 Value Post by: loman4ec on January 06, 2011, 04:34:54 pm I would let it set for a while and see if you can get him down in price. If it is a good cabinet and you can get it for around $200 to $250 then you can buy a rusty complete machine and swap the guts and get a good complete machine for less plus you may have some extra parts to sell on ebay. I have done this many times before and after selling the extra stuff on ebay had little to nothing in the machine. Just a thought. Watch ebay and find other gutted 39s that are either not selling or going cheap and show them to the seller and you may be able to get it for a lot less. You may loose it but a lot of us have found that by walking away and letting the machine set unsold with the owner for a while usually results in a much better price.
